Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Sample Clauses
The "Arbitration and Class Action Waiver" clause requires that any disputes arising from the agreement be resolved through private arbitration rather than through court litigation. In practice, this means that both parties agree to submit their claims to a neutral arbitrator, and also agree not to participate in class action lawsuits or class-wide arbitration. This clause streamlines dispute resolution by keeping matters out of the public court system and prevents individuals from joining together in large group claims, thereby reducing potential legal exposure and costs for the parties involved.
